Alternator / Voltage Regulator

I hve a new battery and seem to be having issues keeping it charged. I am going to replace the volatge regulator and alternator to rule out sources. The OEM replacement voltage regulator is $100. The aftermarket Regitar GR341 is $10. Any reason to go OEM?

The alternator I have is a Cobra Valley 80 Amp variety and has 4 wires. See pic. I would like to go to a single wire and bump up the amperage. Any recommendation on what to use? I am trying not to replace mounting, pullies, etc. I ordered the exact replacement, but it is 4 weeks out. Has anyone had success with the single wire? If I have an external regulator do I have to stay away from the single wire versions?

Phil
